Description
Teach na Greine is an architect designed house on an elevated site of over 1/3 acre, just 6 minutes walk from the heart of Enniskerry Village, which boasts a very large sun terrace and expansive views of the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains. This outstanding property is proudly presented by Casey Kennedy Estate Agents in conjunction with international marketing partners Coldwell Banker. Viewing is strictly by private appointment with agent Phil Thompson.
The large main living room has a lofted ceiling 4m high and windows on three sides. A feature hearth divides this space from the interconnecting dining area and kitchen. The modern high gloss fitted kitchen with a breakfast island and views out the corner window, all the way to the sea in the distance. It comes fully equipped with the full range of quality appliances and fittings.
Teach na Greine is not overlooked as it sits at the very top of a private laneway, perched above the nearby houses. The entrance is by the CKP sign on Church Hill, just 100m from the "Enchanted" clock tower in the heart of the village, up hill from The Enniskerry Inn.
Accommodation consists of spacious interconnecting reception rooms with gorgeous views, a separate lounge with French doors opening to the sun terrace, a large bright entrance hall, and a bedroom level with four double bedrooms - each with ensuite access. Included in the floor area are two zones with slightly restricted ceiling heights, which are not classified as habitable spaces, but which are eminently usable. These consist of an attic room and a basement media room with adjacent utility room, comms room and storage rooms.
It is set on 0.34 acres of grounds which include the footprint of the house, large sun terrace, paved side passage on the southside of the house and unpaved parking for 4+ cars. The rest of the grounds are in grass and vegetation which has not been landscaped. It makes a very interesting children`s play area. The boundaries are mainly in hedge and/or fence.
This house is connected to mains electricity, mains waste water and mains water. It has a highly efficient Grant Vortex boiler for the oil fired central heating. It also has PV solar panels.
Enniskerry is a pretty village with a relaxed vibe. It hosts a range of various craft shops, coffee shops, restaurants, an art school, pubs, a pretty village square and a Carnegie Library. Nearby are a wide range of rambles such as Lover`s Leap Lane, Knocksink Woods and Powerscourt Gardens.
Local sports facilities include Powerscourt Golf Club, Enniskerry FC, and horse riding and hillwalking in The Wicklow Mountains. It is just a short drive from the beaches and marina in Greystones.
